RBI MPC Meet: Today is the last day of the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. On February 6th, the Reserve Bank will announce its policy for FY26. After several repo rate cuts last year, people are now wondering whether the RBI will make another repo rate cut or keep it unchanged.
Expectations for a repo rate cut are low
The chances of a repo rate cut this time are quite low because this policy review is taking place at a crucial juncture, where just a few days ago, Budget 2026 proposed increasing capital expenditure to 12 percent and setting a fiscal deficit target of 4.3 percent for the financial year 2026-27.
Furthermore, the external environment appears to be improving. A trade deal has been reached between the US and India, which will reduce the tariff on Indian imports to the US to 18 percent, down from 25 percent previously. Furthermore, the recent FTA between India and the EU will boost trade and investment, maintaining capital flow. The committee cut the repo rate again by 0.25 percent in December. Consequently, economists believe the RBI has limited room for further reductions.
When and where to watch live?
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra will announce the decisions taken at the MPC meeting at a press conference on Friday, February 6, 2026, at 10:00 am. In addition to the repo rate, inflation and GDP growth projections will also be shared, and the policy decision will be made accordingly.
You can watch the policy statement and Governor Malhotra’s speech live on the RBI’s official website, the RBI’s YouTube channel, or the RBI’s official social media handles on X (formerly Twitter). In addition, real-time updates and livestream links will be shared on the websites and social media platforms of the Ministry of Finance and the Press Information Bureau (PIB). MPC members are expected to interact with the media and answer questions during the post-policy briefing.
